Hm okay... Maybe there'll be a warmer day sometime soon. I know he hates being inside his habitat every single day.

Yeah i have a place like that in my yard so ill take him out there today. :D

My Russian Tortoise hasn't been outside in quite sometime because it's winter and I know he loves being outside. And today is one of the nicer days so I was just wondering if 46 degrees F is too cold for him. It's not too cold for me, but that's because I've been use to 20 degree days. I'd love...

I smelled his shell so I don't really know. His substrate is very clean though. So I don't think that's it.. But it could be.

Just an update on Kirby.... I soaked him yesterday and noticed that his shell smelt TERRIBLE. I mean it smelled awful. And it still does. Is something wrong with him? :\

Ohhh okay. I got mine at Petsmart. I don't know exactly how old he is though.

Yeah I've only had 2 small red sliders before my RT so I guess I'm new at this too :p but if yours have the same thing then I'm not too worried. How old are yours?

Okay thanks! I don't mind him sleeping I just wanted to make sure he was alright. :p I also was wondering if it's normal, at the end of the shell, for it to be clear. It's just on the ends of his shell where it's clear. I'm thinking maybe it's just a growing thing. And his shell has some...

I have a Russian Tortoise named Kirby. :tort: I got him sometime in October. Since then, all he ever does is dig or sleep. I put him on his basking spot at around lunch time everyday because if I don't he'll just stay under his substrate stuff. It's winter time where I live so I'm guessing...

Okay :D ill get one for him. Which one should i get though? And where in his habitat should i put it? He sleeps in many different places each night.

When you take him out to his food does he eat? Yup, every time. It just takes a minute for him to realize it's food. He usually sniffs it first. Do you soak him? I've been trying to soak him about every day (only for a week now.. maybe I haven't had him that long :p) Eyes close...does he...

I got him maybe about 2 or 3 weeks ago. He seems to be doing fine but he literally sleeps ALL day. I was just wondering if that's normal or not. All I have in his habitat is about 5 inches of coconut coir, and some mulch mixed in (cypress). And the water and food bowl and all that. But, if I...

Yeah it's not dark cabbage. I'll just feed him a few apple peels then :p

My mom gave me a ton of apple peels and some cabbage (and a piece of a carrot). Can I feed those to my Russian Tortoise? I just want to make sure before I let him eat any of it. If not, what should I be feeding him? I just got him last Friday and I've been feeding him Romaine lettuce. He hasn't...

Yeah, this was just lettuce I had left over from my salad the other day. (the bottom part of the head or whatever) I'll get a better mix soon. And thanks!
